Eyewitness of the two explosions on the...
Alexandra Antonova described her reaction to the blast at Lubyanka metro station, where the first bomb was detonated.
"I was in shock. I was deafened by the sound of the blast, but at first I didn"t think it was a terrorist attack. Then I saw all the smoke and realized it had been an explosion.
"My only thought was to get away as quickly as possible," she said.
She managed to change to a different train and arrived at Park Kultury metro station, the site of the second attack, just a few minutes before the blast.
"I was very lucky," she said.
Valery Shuverov, a witness at Park Kultury said reports of the power of the explosion had been exaggerated.
“It wasn’t big; that’s why this talk of two or three kilos of TNT is just bullshit. Maybe one or one and a half. But there were so many people packed together. That’s why there was such a high number of casualties.
